In Helsinki

Actually T and I are in Vantaa, Finland, a town just outside of Helsinki where the airport is located. We are on our way to meet uncle D in Reykjavik, Iceland for a much needed vacation. It is bright and sunny here in Finland. We spent the night at a hotel because we had a 24 hour layover. There is an entertainment center nearby "Flamingo" that we walked to last night, got supper and walked around. It has an indoor pool, bowling alley (that we walked over and looked into with a glass panel floor/ceiling), spa, movie theater, restaurants and attached hotel. We ate in one of the restaurants that overlooked the pool, and people on the other side of a glass wall were in the pool area ordering from the same restaurant. T wanted to see the new Shrek movie but it was only available in Finnish so we did some window shopping instead.
